I am a Microsoft employee who wanted to get certified in Microsoft's Power Analyst certification. I was looking for review material and came across this book. It has been amazing. I went down every point that was supposed to be covered from Microsoft and it was covered in the book. After reading, I took the practice test and I received a very high passing score. What is missing from the book are some examples that are more complex. In my role, I have to do some complex O-data and embedded manipulations before display. I don't know that I would use the book as unabridged coverage for power bi, however, for the purpose of certification I don't think there is a finer up-to-date manual out there than this book.

I wish I had this book when I first began working in Power BI. The book reads very well, is easy to understand, flows nicely, and has plenty of examples throughout. Whether you are planning to take the certification exam or just want a great resource for Power BI, this book is for you. I've never been one to sit down and read for long periods of time, but it was different with this book. The book flowed in a way that kept me interested page after page, excited to learn more.

This guide is well written and uses vernacular that I can understand which is especially important to me because I have a 16-year background in Agricultural Finance with little previous experience in formal data compilation and analysis. Only within the past few years has our company invested heavily in technology, systems, and people to allow for data extraction into tables and databases. Prior to this, we did not have "usable" data, being housed mostly in Excel. This is a truly exciting time for us because we are just now learning the benefits of our data and what insights it can bring when analyzed correctly. This book makes excellent points on why data is important and how Power BI is a solution to data analysis. Through trial and error, I have learned that I must sell the data to the audience which I am presenting, mainly sales personnel within my company. I especially enjoyed reading Part 3 - Visualizing the Data to aid me in storytelling. I have learned very quickly that if I show a table of values to our salespeople only a small percentage will take the time to digest it, but if I provide a well-formatted visual aid (even with higher-level information) they digest it quickly and ask for the more-granular information. I love seeing all the various visuals in this section, as it provides me with future ideas on how to present the data to my audience in the most impactful way.I had not considered becoming certified in Power BI in the past. This book provides the road map I need to be successful in obtaining certification.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
